bilevel linear programming  is a decision making problem with a two-level decentralized organization. the textquotedblleft leadertextquotedblright~ is in the upper level and the textquotedblleft followertextquotedblright, in the lower. making a decision at one level affects that at the other one. in this paper, bilevel linear programming  with inexact parameters has been studied and a method is...

BACKGROUND Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies indicate that the brain organizes its activity into multiple functional networks (FNs) during either resting condition or task-performance. However, the functions of these FNs are not fully understood yet. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To investigate the operation of these FNs, spatial independent component analysis (sICA) was u...

there are many situations for statistical process in which we have both random and vagueinformation. when uncertainty is due to fuzziness of information, fuzzy statistical control charts play animportant role in the monitoring process, because they simultaneously deal with both kinds of uncertainty.dealing with fuzzy characteristics using classical methods may cause the loss of information and ...

in the mathematical analysis, there are some theorems and definitions that established for both real and fuzzy numbers. in this study, we try to prove  bernoulli's inequality in fuzzy real numbers with some of its applications. also, we prove two other theorems in fuzzy real numbers which are proved before, for real numbers.

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a main role in many applied models inreal world and in particular decision-making procedures. In manyproposed methods by other researchers may exist some shortcoming.The most commonly used approaches for ranking fuzzy numbers isbased on defuzzification method. Many ranking fuzzy numberscannot discriminate between two symmetric fuzzy numbers withidentical core. In 200...

in this paper,  we determine necessary and sufficient tauberian conditions under which convergence in pringsheim's sense of a double sequence of fuzzy numbers follows from its $(c,1,1)$ summability. these conditions are satisfied if the double sequence of fuzzy numbers is slowly oscillating in different senses. we also construct some interesting double sequences of fuzzy numbers.

in this paper we introduce the root of a fuzzy number, and we present aniterative method to nd it, numerically. we present an algorithm to generatea sequence that can be converged to n-th root of a fuzzy number.

different methods have been proposed for finding the non-negative solution of fully fuzzy linear system (ffls) i.e. fuzzy linear system with fuzzy coefficients involving fuzzy variables. to the best of our knowledge, there is no method in the literature for finding the non-negative solution of a ffls without any restriction on the coefficient matrix. in this paper a new computational method is ...

BACKGROUND Medically unexplained movement or sensibility disorders, recently defined in DSM-5 as functional neurological symptoms (FNS), are still insufficiently understood. Stress and trauma have been addressed as relevant factors in FNS genesis. Altered emotion processing has been discussed. The present study screened different types and times of adverse experiences in childhood and adulthood...
